This piece traces the moment a public refuge becomes a perimeter. A park—typically a place of pause, nature, and unguarded presence—is rendered unstable through abrupt marks, ruptured color fields, and ghosted forms that feel both fleeing and rooted. The erratic whites and reds suggest alarms cutting through calm, while the layered graphite marks echo the confusion of bodies reorganizing under sudden pressure. The work asks what is lost when a communal landscape is treated as a zone of suspicion, and how memory metabolizes disruption long after the agents leave.
